a question or poucr.
A galvanized Republican who calls
Limeelf a Democrat, and vho ia a
resident of Linn county, has sug
gested to us that we are going: too
far ia pronouncing against all the
Xladical amendments to the Consti-
wuon, u oj wen a course ire
will drive the ConserratiTe Demo
crats away from the party! Now we
do not desire to hurt anybody's feel
ings, nor tread on any one's eorns;-
but we believe that a man's politics
ought to be a part of his religion,
and that he should be willing to face
the music at all times. We consci
entiously and truly belisTe that every
amendment or change that has been
effected in the Constitution in the
' past ten years was secured through
force and fraud and not by a free ex
ercise of the people's will through
the only legitimate arbiter of a Re
publican government,' the ballot; and
' that the disgraceful and unwarranted
.means which secured their adoption
mast eventually cover their aiders.
abetters and apologists with shame
and ignominy.
;' XUdicala and timid Democrats
call them dead issues. . If they are,
.they were foully murdered, and the
perpetrators of . the horrid deed
should be brought to justice and
summary punishment.
"We have no desire to gain a repu
tation for being radical or "red-hot"
in our political fulminations, but we
believe in being in earnest in bat
tling aganist every form of tyranny;
fighting down every measure of cor-
raption; standing boldly up in de
fense of the rights of the sovereign
States against Federal interference
and giving our feeble aid in preserv
ing the liberties of the people
against Radical oppression. ' We
would take special pride in being
numbered among those who are foes
to tyranny and usurpation and
friends of the over-taxed, over-legislated
and over-awed people.
The Oregonian charges us with
standing on the same platform and
. endorsing the same priciples enunci
ated by JefT. Davis a few weeks ago.
We don't remember what Jeff. Davis
said at Selma, nor do we caie. If
he said that the Radical legislation
of Congress in regard to the Con
atitaiaon was villainous and fraudu
lentthat the question of those
amendments was cot a "dead issue"
that the rights of States had been
violated and ignored that the liber
ties of the people of ten States had
been outraged, abrogated and tram
pled under the lees of armed van
dals, stationed among them for polit
ical effect, and that the towns and
cities ox the aoutn were being con
verted into military garrisons to force
Grant upon the nation for another
Presidential term then he uttered
the truth, and it was none the less
a solemn truth because it fell from
the lips of Jeff. Davis.
If he said that . it was the noble
mission of the Democratic party to
bring this niggerized government
back to the pure white standard es
tablished for it by the fathers and
to obrogate and annul all the black
amendments which have been forci
bly, unlawfully, and fraudulently
injected into the Constitution by
Radical Manipulations then he
nanciated a rreat fact and one
which the fature will surely, vindi
cate and establish.
The Oregonian need not worry
itself into a night sweat and lose
sleep in a vain attempt to rush Jeff.
Davis or anr other Democrat into
the political arena; but it will con
serve its own interests and the inter
ests of its party by devoting its em
inent abilities and transcendant talents
to allaying the disturbances and differ
ences in its own ranks which cow
threaten to divide and destroy the
Radical fabric. When the time ar
rives the Democracy with Senator
Hendricks, or . some other equally
able and pure statesman, mounted
on a platif orm of staunch, true, honest,
white principles will enter the are
na in behalf of the people and con
iatational liberty, and the victory
will be ours.
lsoux Policy. The Corvallis (7o
tdle says that Gen. Palmer, who has
assumed the duties of Agent for the
Siletz Indian Reservation ; Vin tends
to carry out President Grant's policy
in regard to Christianizing as well as
civilizing the poor Indian." ' Grant's
policy of ."Christianizing and civiliz
ing" the Indians while he rem ained
on this coast is regarded among de
cent and refined people as rather a
revolting one, but it may suit General
Palmer's high-toned (?) ideas to a
dot. ' ' '

. There was a most disgraceful scene
in the House a few days before Con
gress adjourned, in which General
Butler and Gov. Swarm were the
participants, and in which they called
each other about all the names in the
vocabulary. It commenced by But
ler's reference to Swann as a know-
nothing, and the latter's relating that
Butler was not reponsible or truth'
f ul in anything he said in political or
social life. - He fruther charged But
ler, while commanding in Baltimore
during the war, with being drunk
three days, with intimidating wo
men and - children, and illustrating
his debauchery in the vilest manner.
Butler said that it was false; that he
was sufficient to bring Swann and all
the other rebels in Ihe city on their
knees before him. The Republican
side applauded this. ; Swann testi-
tified to his own record as an official
and boasted that, unlike Butler, he
had handled millions without even
stealing a spoon. The Democrats
applauded this. Butler returned
the fire by accusing Swann with hav
ing burned Catholic churches, dis
franchised the Irish, and then turn
ing around at a later day and court
ing the latter 8 vote. While Butler
was speaking, Swann started for the
lobby to get a drink of water. But
ler, pointing his finger at him said:
"There he goes, now, after vomiting
all his filth on me." Both sides kept
it up in this vein for half an hour.
Old members say that for gross per
sonalities Butler has never been par
alleled in all the disgraceful scenes
in Congress.
A BOLTEB BOLTED.
The main cause of the partial Dem
ocratic defeat in Connecticut was
owing to the fact that the Democratic
candidate in the Second Congression
al District had been a bolter at the
election two years ago, at which
time he assisted in the election of the
Radical candidate. ; Hence, at this
election, as a natural consequence,
the Democracy themselves were very
lukewarm in his'support, many hun
dreds even refusing to go to the polls
and thus that District, as well as the
State, was turned over to Radicalism.
This is the natural consequence when
bolters and dissenters secure an en
dorsement through the trickery or
carelessness of conventions, and its
frequent recurrence in politcal his
tory should be a warning to. Demo
crats in the future not to put such an
odious load upon the shoulders of
Democratic voters.
It is said that the prospects of
Alaska are getting beautifully smaller
every month or so. The cost of its
occupation by tne government is
nearly $11,000 a month, besides sup
plies. ' The j roducts last year appear
to have consisted of about $14,000
worth of . salmon. $2,400 worth of
seal and dog-fish oil, and a materi
ally decreased fur trade. The Rus
sian population seem to be anxious
to get into some part of the
Czar's dominions; the American and
Europeans generally think they can
do better almost anywhere else,
while the Indians, who comprise a
large majority, don't apparently
know much about anything.
Thx Oregonian seems to be in ter
rible threes of misery just now be
cause it has discovered that the De
mocracy propose to conduct the next
Presidential campaign upon the prin
ciples of State Soverignity, White
Superiority and the resurrecution of
the Old Constitution. The editor of
that paper knows that such a fight
will be extremely disastrous to the
Radicalism and Imperialism of the
dominant party, hence its "oneasy-
ness.
Thx successive stages of North
western growth are remarkably illus
trated by a paragraph in the Waver-
ly, Iowa, Republican, which says :
"We have a man in our city who was
born in 1800, and has a son who was
born in the Territory of Michigan,
and another one in the Teritory of
Wisconsin, and still another one in
the Territory of Iowa, and also a
daughter born in the State of Iowa-
all in the same house! . Col. J. W.
Woods is the man."
Thx New York Evening Mail (Rad
ical) says that "too much passion
and hard feeling are getting into the
controversy .over Mr. - Sumner's re
moval from the headship of the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,"
and that unless it is stopped the
breach in the Republican party will
become ' too wide to be healed over,
and that the ruin of its organization
will follow. , '
On the vote for members of Con
gress in New Hampshire, the Demo
crats ' have a clear majority over
Radicals and scattering, of 647; and
the majority against the Radical can
didates is 2,100. On the vote for
Senators, the Democratic majority is
over 2,700. We think New Hamp
shire may be safely reckoned as a
Democratic State. v

Washtkotoj, D. C., April 15, 1871.
In the Senate yesterday Mr. Howe,
of Wisconsin, who a few days ago
had declared the martyr Sumner to
be a traitor to the cause of Radical
ism, rose, andin the mostlachrymore
vein, took back all he had said as to
Sumner turning Democrat. After
the speech which Mr. Sumner made
on the Eu Elux, Mr. Howe's heart
softened and he held out his long,
thin arms to welcome back the stray
sheep, as he had supposed Sumner
to be. Sumner rejoined by declaring
that he always was aid always will
be a Radical. ; The new baptism
over, all were made happy, and Sum
ner was as good as new, and Howe
Wept, i , , ; . ... .; ' .. " '
Eu Elux was then in order and
Carl Schuns opposed this legislation
and proposed amnesty as being the
proper remedy, and be stated that
as an independent Republican he
should not voto for the bill. Senator
Casserly ma.? a very able argument
against the proposed iniquity, and as
he had not time to finish he asked
leave to print the rest c! his remarks,
a request never refused, vrhich was
objected to by Mr. Edmunds, in a
vindictive and spiteful manner.
"You can't make a silk purse out of
a sow's ear."
All the "amendments of the Judi
ciary Committee were adopted,! as
was also one offered by John Sher
man, which2asseases damages upon
the city, county or parish in which
person or property may be injured
or outraged for political reasons;,
and one by the cruel, bloody minded
wretch Morton which strikes out the
clause repealing the test'oath for ju
rors. This, as stated by Mr. Rob
ertson, Radical, of , South Carolina,
excludes almost entirely the intelli
gent whites of the South from the
jury box. It is understood that the
President used his power to pass
these last amendments as he feels
that he must have absolute sway in
order to carry the South in the
Presidential election, and to use the
power given him to force himself as
the next nominee, for if he is not
nominated he will not use the power
given him, and without such use be
ing made of it Radicalism has no
hope; though with or without it their
fate is sealed.
The House was the'scene of rath
er a lively debate over a speech
which was printed in the Globe with
out having all been spoken. It Lad
been delivered, or at least a portion
of it, by Mr. Garrett, of Tennessee,
and wile on the subject of- Butler's
son-in-law, Ames, of Mississippi,
said he was "a happy combination of
knave and fool, having no regard for
truth, decency or honor, and a poor,
pitiful coward, ice." The trouble is
that Mr. Garrett's ignorance of par
liamentary rules led him to say just
what he thought, and which no doubt
is correct, but which is not allowable
in the House, and there was a great
hubbub about it, but after considera
ble virtuous indignation had been ex
pended by the truly loil and moral
men, Ben. Butler put in and the re
sult was that his bitter enemy, Farns
worth, moved very near to where
Butler was speaking about personal
matters, and glared in his face in a
manner most ferocious and said that
"it was sometimes necessary to be
personal in protecting the interests
of the country." He then, Jooking
at Butler, shook his finger at him
and continued: "When a coward
and poltroon, crept in here (the
Speaker's gavel made such a noise
that the remainder of the sentence
was lost)Butler shrunk away from
Farnsworth as though he expected
immediate chastisement. This epi
sode and the strong language used
was immediately seized by Mr. Cox
to show that old members sometimes
violate the rules. : The speech of
Mr. Garrett was merely expunged
from the Globe.
The National Banks were yester
day saddled with an expense they
hardly dreamed ot. Some ring had
a bill passed in the Senate providing
for a re-issue of new national bank
notes; as neither the banks nor the
controller of' the currency had asked
for the re-issue. Congress, by a vote
of 103 to 70, decided that the banks
should pay the cost of : the work,
about $1,000,000. That job was
badly damaged, I reckon.
The unity, harmony and the entire
ignoring of personal feelings which
exists to-day in the Democratic par
ty is a sure augury of i success in
1872. ' The existence of this acqui
escence of he Democratic members
of Congress in the desires of the
Western members, who urge that St.
Louis be selected as the place for
holding the -next National Democrat
ic Convention. The Western mem
bers claim that it is central - in loca
tion, easy of access, being connected
with all parts of the country by rail
ways. The city is remarkably healthy.
agreeable and attractive. Its hotels
are numerous, large and well kept,
with ample accommodations to pro
vide for all who may choose to visit
the city during the 7 session , of the
Convention. Such a compliment as
this to the great and diversified in
terests of the West, it , is claimed,
would have great political weight,
and would also be considered as a
recognition of the ' Dmocratio ' suc
cesses in the West last fall. There
has been no National Democratic
Convention held, of late years, in
the West except that of Chicago.
The Western members claim that the
choosing of St. Louis would have the
effect of greatly strengthening their
hands j There is no doubt but the
West wil be the ground on which
the contest in 1872 will be decided.
The strife will be warm and, bitter,
especially in States which are now
Radical, and this reason, no doubt,
has greatly influenced the Democrat
ic delegation in Congress, and - per
sonal preferences vanished at once
for the good of the party, and they
now urge St. Louis for the honor of
being the spot in which the next
President of the United States will
bo selected. ;.i . , : v , . .

Agreed Perfectly".- Some fuor
weeks ago Sheriff Irvine, of Lion county,
made the acquaintance uf Sheriff Matb
eoy, while ou a professional visit to this
city, aod a few days ago they met again
here, but the second lime it was a case
of mistakes identity on the part of Ir
vioe, who iuiagioed him (Matheny) to
be somebody else snd asked bim; -How
is Matheny getting on with the offico rf
ciiuriut ine answer was, "auer tne
same old sort." This was, not entirely
satirfuctoty to Irvine, who soon again
repeated the same question and received
the same response. "Do you thiuk he
will make as good a Sheriff as Murphy
did?" he further asked. "No"', said
Jasper, Mldo not." "That ia just what
I thiuk," said Irvine,' quite happy, to
have struck a sympathetic chord, and
we doubt if he fiuds out until he reads
this item, that it was Matheny he bad
lor an auditor, as well as fur a subject of
criticism. . lie will be in luck if he en
joys the joke half as well aa, Matheny
dues, but we think that no one will have
reason to find fault with either of them
as officials. Salens Statesman.

virtue arsong these candidates, but
it is not for us to speculate as to
which of them it ia that owns it.'
